  1. Atomic Habits of Prayer - Session Four

    12/30/2022

    Atomic Habits of Prayer - Session Four

    Advent Retreat, “Atomic Habits of Prayer“   Fr. Brendan says, it is possible to learn how to pray in many different forms and some of these methods will work for you and some won’t. Finding the ones that work for you can only be discovered by praying them. And that requires the forming of new habits which can be hard for incredibly busy people with full calendars. Yet we can always find time for the things we desire.   We desire to be people of prayer because a person of deep listening prayer is a person who is able to listen to others, to be peaceful and centered in their own hearts, to be calm in the face of chaos, to be kind and gentle especially those least deserving of it, to be loving at all times and to be present to others in their difficulties.  He wants to help us develop the habit of listening prayer. He will share the science behind the formation of habits and how to lose old bad habits and make new ones. Then he will apply this science to the tradition in our Church of mystical prayer including meditation and other forms of contemplation.

  4. From Here to Eternity - Session Four

    From Here to Eternity - Session Four

    How to Live and Die Well The core of our Christian faith is that Jesus was raised from the dead, and he promises us the resurrection when we die. If that is true, then we have eternal life now and our souls live forever. Our time here on earth is a preparation for eternity with God. That is the Easter message every year and we spend 50 days celebrating it in the Easter season.  In this retreat, I will go deeper into our belief in the resurrection and what our faith says about eternal life. I will share my personal experience with death. I will illustrate with up-close encounters with people who have died. There is a difference between dying well and dying badly. I have seen both and we ought to do everything possible to prepare to die well because the alternative is hard to witness. To die well, we need to live well. But it has nothing to do with how much money we have or what we own or what our job is. To live well is to live a life full of faith. Come and learn how to live and die well and when the times come, help others to live and die well.
